Custom Orthotics

Considering our feet are the major weight-bearing part of the body, it isn’t a surprise that most people have experienced foot or heel pain at some time in their life. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, over half of Americans have missed work because of foot problems.

Foot problems can affect the way other parts of your body function, such as your hips, knees or back. That’s why it is important to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing foot or heel pain.

Properly fitted orthotics can provide relief for heel or arch pain, an injury or sprain, bunions or plantar fasciitis. They can help with pain triggered by sports, or from the natural foot changes brought on by growing older. People who stand excessively on the job may also benefit from orthotics. Some of the options your therapist may discuss with you are:

Over-The-Counter Orthotics: Sometimes, all a patient may need is a simple, over-the-counter orthotic to relieve their pain and help them move more comfortably. We can help find the best over-the-counter solution for our patients.

Custom Heat Molded Orthotics: Depending on a patient’s needs, a heat-molded orthotic may be an option. They are usually less expensive than other types of customized orthotics, and patients can usually go home with them the same day.

Casting: When the foot problem is more severe, or harder materials are required, our therapists make molds of a patient’s feet, and then work through a lab to make casts.

Therapists at Hendricks Regional Health offer orthotic services for most patients at our campuses in Danville, Plainfield, and the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA in Avon. We also provide custom-fitted orthotics for children age two to seven at our Avon YMCA campus.
